Bonnaroo!

Hello fellow Coachella enthusiasts! I am looking to see if there are any Bonnaroo veterans attending this year's Coachella Fest. This will be my first time at Coachella and I was curious as if anyone could offer some insight by comparing the two. I really dug Bonnaroo, so I hope Coachella will be even better!

The Coachella venue is surrounded by retired Republicans in expensive luxury homes telling you to get off their lawn. Bonnaroo is surrounded by filthy gaptoothed inbred rednecks telling you to squeal like a pig.

4 time Bonnaroo veteran, this will be my third Coachella. If you want extensive comparisons between the two, email me at handslikeguns at gmail. Long story short, much less of a party, both atmosphere and people wise. But each certainly has their advantages. Are you going weekend one or two?

I've done Bonnaroo once, Coachella 6 times. Hardly any bugs at Coachella. Grass is kept very well with no mud. Music does not go as late and sets are typically shorter. Obviously more LA hipsters but they can be fun too. I found that water was easier to refill at Bonaroo and it was much easier to get up close to the stage. Seemed like Bonnaroo was more lenient on the things you can bring into the festival as well. No super jam at Coachella but there are always a fair share of special guests.

Overall, everybody is there to have a good time at both places which makes it easy to make friends. Don't let the boards deter you. They just have keep everyone in line... by being assholes.
